Testing the effect of different sugars on yeast fermentation can be a very good experiment. You will need the following materials: 2 liter bottles, packets of dry active yeast, different sugars (like sucrose{table sugar}, fructose, substitution sweetener lactose{milk sugar},and dextrose balloons,and of course,water. Add the amount of water instructed on the yeast to every 2liter bottle. then measure the same amount of sugar for each bottle. place a balloon on the top of each bottle and let them sit for at least ten minutes. then measure the circumference of the balloons and compare. to make completely scientific do at least three times and average results. To further extend add salt to each sugar solution to see if it makes any difference. Hope I helped:)
why is it reasonable that, of the three sugars, glucose would result in the most activiity suring the fermentation experiment
Yeast is a common microorganism that causes fermentation. Specifically, species of Saccharomyces yeast are often used in fermentation processes, such as brewing beer and making bread.
The purpose of adding yeast and water in a sugar and yeast experiment is to provide the necessary conditions for fermentation to occur. The yeast consumes the sugar as a food source and produces carbon dioxide gas and alcohol as byproducts. This reaction demonstrates the process of anaerobic respiration in living organisms.
Yeast cells carry out fermentation when they are supplied with glucose molecule.
Fermentation is the process by which yeast respires anaerobically to produce energy in the form of ATP and fermentation byproducts such as ethanol and carbon dioxide.

alcohol, a by product of the fermentation
I observed that yeast produces carbon dioxide gas when metabolizing sugars, leading to the formation of bubbles in the solution. I noticed that the more sugar provided to the yeast, the faster and more vigorous the fermentation process seemed to be. I also observed that the temperature of the environment can impact the growth and activity of the yeast during fermentation.

the sugar has power over fermentation. fermentation can not continue without sugar or yeast
In animals, fermentation produces lactate or lactic acid as a byproduct, while in yeast, fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Lactic acid fermentation does not produce energy as efficiently as ethanol fermentation, which is why animals primarily rely on it during high-intensity exercise when oxygen is limited. Fermentation in animals occurs in muscle cells, while yeast fermentation takes place in yeast cells.
Alcohol fermentation.
The purpose of adding yeast and water in a sugar and yeast experiment is to provide the necessary conditions for fermentation to occur. The yeast consumes the sugar as a food source and produces carbon dioxide gas and alcohol as byproducts. This reaction demonstrates the process of anaerobic respiration in living organisms.
During fermentation, yeast multiplies through a process called budding. This involves the yeast cell growing a small bud on its surface, which eventually separates to form a new yeast cell. This allows yeast to rapidly multiply and continue the fermentation process.
The raw materials for alcohol fermentation are generally sugar (such as glucose or sucrose) and yeast. Yeast metabolizes the sugar through the process of fermentation, converting it into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Water is also required for the fermentation process.
